TR S I TR RN Europe After Which His Made—Colleagues Regret (Spectal to The Bulietin) Washington, D. C, May 29.—Con- gressman Higgins has received both from his constituents and his col- leagues many expressions of regret at his decision to leave congress. Had Mr. Higgins been in the next congress he would have been the second repub- lican on the judiciary committee which is one of the greatest committees in the house. ~Mr. Higgins succeeded Charles E. Littlefield of Maine on this committee and will have served, at the expiration of his term, five years upon it. During his service Mr. Higgins has also been a member of committees on war claims, territories, expenditures in the navy department, industrial arts and expositions, and now is the rank- ing republican member of the commit- tee on expenditures In the department of. agriculture which during this con- gress has conducted the pure food in- vestigation popularly known as the Dr. Wiley case. The investigation of the everglades land frauds and the inves- tigation of the meat inspection service, | ail of which attracted wide public at- l tention, It s the belief of many, both in congress and out, that the speech Mr. Higgins made in the house when the committee reported on the Lilley sub- marine investigation saved Congress- | man Lilley from expulsion, as the feel ing In the house was Intense and the report of the committee was exceed- ingly hostile and bitter to Mr. Lilley, When Mr. Higgins was asked as to his future plans after the fourth of next March, he saidi *I have no def- inite plans for the future, but have under consideration some business and professional propositions which if a cepted would make it necessary for me | to leave Norwich and make my home elsewhere. I am in doubt whether 1 will take up with one of these or re- | sume the practice of law at Norwich, and I will not decide for the present. While I have always maintained my offices in Norwich, my experience is that of members of congress, that one cannot attend to the exacting details of a law practice and at the same time look after,the man things that congressman has to. I chose to the best I could for the people who had honored me, but I find it necessary now to dGevote myself to making some provisiops for the future, and propose to engage myself to that end.” { | Congressman Higgins Will Spend Two or Three Months in {ever before, Decision Has Not Been Fully His Decrision to Retire. Mr. Higgins sald that he planned to attend the republican convention at Chicago, which meets June 13, and that he intended to take a Buropean trip this summer of sixty or elghty days with Mrs. Higgins, leaving some time in July and returning to Norwich | some time In September or October. Expressions by Congressmen. Washington, May 29—The statement that he would not again be a candi- dste for congress, given out yesterday by Representative Higgins, was the tople of conversation among the mem : bers of the state's, delegation today, Al express regret that he should feei it Is his duty to retire from the house, as they realize that he has made a very useful representative, not only to his* own district, but to the state at_large. Representative Henry sald he was not surprised, as he had frequently heard Mrs. Higgins say of late that he thought he should not again be a can- didate. Mr. Hill said he did net blame Mr. Higgins, but he disliked to have him leave just the same. Mr. Tilson seemed to be the most curprised man in the delegation. When hown the statement last night he d: “This is a surprise to me. I am very sorry, too, for besides belng my personal friend, I realize that the state will thereby lose a capable and efficient as well as a faithful represen- tative, I can see his side of it, how- ever. He has longed to be back at Lis profession where he can be free from the worry and anxiety of the rublic servant, and where the finan- cial remuneration, if not greater, is at least not subject to as many calls. He could afford to retire better than becaue his contest has | been unanimously decided in his favor, | his district has been made much mere strongly republican, and no opposition for his renomination has developed. No one can call him a ‘quitter’ or ac- use him of having ‘cold feet’ He simply did not find the work here suf- ficiently attractive to recompense him for the many disagreeable things con- rected with it. He is doing what at least a (ozen others are doing; for in- | stance, Lawrence of Massachusetts, Brantley of Georgia, Olmstead of Pennsylvania, among the ablest men of the house. r.

Officers Re-: and Members En- Jjoyed Delightful Time at Norwich Town. The annual meeting of the Mayflower club was on Wednesday at the home of Nelson D, Robinson of Norwich Town. Mrs. Robinson was the same delghtful hostess which she has been for the eight years past at these annual May meetings of the club and the 7 guests enjoyed her hospl- tality to the utmost. The meeting was an especlally attractive one, as it marked the tenth anniversary of the first pienic ever held in Connecticut by members of the Mayflower soclety. A four-course luncheon was served, after which the club was called to order by the president, Mrs, Christopher Mor- gan, for a business session. Officers were re-elected for another year as follows: President, Mrs. Christopher Morgan; treasurer, Mrs. Nelson D. Robinson; seeretary; Miss Phebe H. Brewster: A speclal anniversary programme was conducted by Mrs. Charles B. Graves, First came a paper by Mrs. Nelson D. Robinson, Ten Years' Itin- erary—1902-1912, giving in wit and hu- mor the review of the ten years' pic- nics beginning with the first pilgrim- age. She spoke of the birth of the Mayflower soclety at the old Hemp- stead house, New Londen, March T, 1896. When Mayflower was six years old Mother Mary Branch planned to give the child a special pleasure in the form of a picnic, and chese as the most desirable spot fer it the Brewster burylng ground. After clever descrip- tlons of the hoys and girls attending young Mayflower's party, Mrs. Robin- son described the lunch hour and the story hour which followed. Again in 1903 Mother Mary gathered the chil- dren for another picnic—but, alas, ‘twas for a memorial service, as during the year little Mayflower had been kid- napped and carried to Hartford, leav- ing the Hempstead home bereft. The picnic day began with a dark pall, suggesting sorrow, and later Dame 2 ture evidenced her sympathy most co- plously, Mrs. Robinson declared later that her backyard was & better place to hold a picnie. The Mayflowers took her at her word and on the last Thurs- day in May, 1904, 19 of them appeared with boxes and baskets of lunch. The next picnic was held in May, 1905, at Mayflower headquarters, Norwich Town. As these gatherings were not legelly meetings of the soclety, Mrs. Robinson suggested the idea of a club and from that time it has been the Mayflower club. Other picnics were now held each year besides the one in May, which became the annual May meeting. In 1908 the club celebrated its wooden anniversary with gifts to Mrs. Robinson, the headquarters hos- tess, treasurer and chaplain. Six mem- bers have died in these ten years. The orlginal 18 have grown to 43, and 49 luncheons have been held. The club has been soclal rather than literary, though special literary programmes mark commemorative events at times. The spirit of good comradeship has been and is the dominant force with the Mayflower club, and 'tis safe to anticipate the future from the past Mrs. Robinson’s paper was received with great enthusiasm and a bouquet of pink and white carnations was pre- sented to her. Mrs. Graves then read a poem by Mrs. John L. Branche descriptive of the first picnic at Brewster's Neck. Another poem by Miss Grace D. Wheeler and_ written for the occasion was read by Miss Eliza W. Avery. Mrs. J, W. Bailey of Middletown. a member of the committee appointed at the state meeting in Hartford to plan work for the soclety, was a guest of the club and spoke to them about some of these | plans. | Thosé present were Mrs, Christopher Morgan, Mystic; Mrs. Herbert L. Cran- dall, Mrs. Charles B. Jennings, Miss Fanny L. Potter, Miss Elizabeth Stark, Miss * Genevieve Stark, Mrs. Carl I Viets, Mrs. Charles B. Graves, Mrs. Nelson M. Keeney, Mrs. L. K.

Miss Emily Pierscn, State Organizer, Addresses Large Gathering at Nor- wich Club. At the public equal franchise meet- ing at the Norwich club Wednesday afternoon the address was by Miss Emily Plerson of Cromwell, state or- er. There was a large assembly in the hall when Miss Pierson-was in- troduced by Arthur. H. Brewer. She spoke as follows: Men the People, In the race between a present presi- dent and a past president for a future presidency we hear constant reference to demoncary. “Government of the people themselves, by the people them- selyes, Colonel Roosevelt reiterated In New Jersey, “is the all Important issue of this campaign” What he really méant was: “Government of all of the people, by all of us men,” but we will leave that peint aside for the moment. Colonel Roosevelt is not the only man who considers men “the people.” The idea of democracy did not come as a wild goose flight of fancy, but as the climax of a long historical develop ment. From the rule of a king, abso lute, to the rule of a bing, limited the voice of & few, the idea has grown | and in the long development the people came little by little, class by class, to ask a vote, a voice in the conduct of | the government affairs under which | they had to live. Although the actual conduct of affairs became more and more specialized by experts in differ- ent lines, the foundation of the gov- ernment In the volces of those who controlled 1t became broader and broader, all men came to have a volce in the government. What Need of Votes for Women? Now what s the need of votes for | women? Anyone can see that as adult human belngs they should be asked | what they want done by the govern- | ment under which' they have to live | and dle, but only within a rew years | is the pubiic beginning to grasp the | momentous consequences to society of | thelr not-being asked, of their heing left as a great group in society with- out votes. Woman a Home Specialist. ‘Woman's place is naturally the ome and around it her interests cluster. Its work 1s her' specfalized -knowledge. Pure food, sanitary and adequate cloth- ing, healthy morals, little cnfldren, young girls and boys, these are the mother’s responsibility in the world, The factory system has taken wom- an’s work out of her hands. Her food is prepared not in the home but in bakery, cannery and stockyard; her clothes are woven in the mill and made in sweatshop and factory loft; they are even washed in the jaundry; her sick are cared for in the hospitals, and | her children live their lives more and | more in the school and public play- ground. All these matters must be controlled by law, and the shocking revelations of impire food, child labor, infected clothing, immoral resorts and white slave traffic show how badly women's interests are cared for tod There is no escaping it. We biilding up a wonderful busines o 5 woman's especial charges, are not ade- quately protected. Why Little Interest in Politics. ‘Women are sometimes charged with having little interest in politics. And a good reason why. Women not being | among the voters, politics are not made interesting to them. There is no wom- an constituency In the east for Presi- | dent Taft and Colonel Roosevelt to consider. In California President Taft, with a body of voting mothers present in mind, claimed as one of the achieve- ments of his term of office the estab- lishment.of a children’s bureau and the appointment of a woman, Miss Julia Lathrop, as head of it, Losses Through Woman's Unenfran- chisement. | The injury to our whole people of leaving our women out in this scheme of democracy can only be suggested We all suffer when women's inte; are not made the vital concern of ou law makers. We must have homes and children dequately cared for, or our business prosperity will be a cas- tle bullt on the sand, A further bad result of women's un- enfranchisement is the lack of a feel- ing of responsibility. Women of - today they do not want to vot, they do not want the responsibility.
